Safe navigation is at the heart of what we do. For over 225 years, we have been charting the world’s oceans. And, as the maritime industry evolves, we’re evolving with it. From enhancing precision to improving efficiency, we’re supporting safe, efficient and compliant navigation – today and for generations to come. https://lnkd.in/eNvmUE7e

Hydrography is essential for almost every activity undertaken in the marine domain, ensuring the safety of life at sea, supporting safe navigation and protecting our oceans. What are we doing to help ensure the safe and responsible use of our oceans for generations to come? In our latest blog, National Hydrographer and Director of Data Acquisition and Defence, Rear Admiral Angus Essenhigh reflects on World Hydrography Day 2024, sharing our work with partners for safer, more efficient, sustainable marine activities.

The UK Centre for Seabed Mapping (UK CSM) recently celebrated its second anniversary. Launched in 2022, the UK CSM aims to bring together the existing seabed mapping community across UK government and embed common approaches to data collection, data standards and data sharing. The UK CSM currently includes 34 members, working together to increase collaboration and improve our understanding of the world's oceans.

From as early as 2026, we could see the first S-100-enabled ECDIS on the bridges of ships. But why should we adopt S-100 standards? Hear from Thomas Mellor, Head of Technical Partnerships, about the benefits of S-100 for safe navigation and efficient operations from ship to shore. Tom will join industry experts at SMM Hamburg in September to explore the new data standard for navigation, delving deeper into the future of navigation during our daily panel discussions.

From high-density bathymetry to dynamic tidal data, explore the S-100 data standards under development to provide an enhanced view of the marine environment. With interoperable data layers, these powerful data sets will underpin the next generation of navigation technologies – supporting safety, unlocking efficiencies and enabling more optimised voyages. Join industry experts at SMM Hamburg to explore the real-world benefits of S-100 during our panel discussion: Shaping the future of navigation with S-100.

In June, we celebrated World Hydrography Day, hosting a reception at the International Maritime Organization's headquarters. We were delighted to be joined by colleagues and partners for an evening to reflect on and celebrate the importance of hydrography in the maritime sector. The event also provided an opportunity to look ahead to the industry's future. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eYSsRNzM #WorldHydrographyDay #SafeNavigation #Ocean #MarineScience

We are pleased to announce we are joining the international shipping community at one of the industry’s most significant events: SMM Hamburg 2024. Visit our stand to discover how we’re helping shape the future of navigation and more about our world-leading ADMIRALTY products and services. We’ll be exploring the transformative potential of S-100. Our team will be on hand to discuss the practical benefits enabled by S-100 and how the next generation of navigation solutions can give clarity and confidence in your decision making. You can also hear first-hand from UKHO experts and guest speakers across the industry in our panel discussion: Shaping the future of navigation with S-100.

168 years later, we're working closely with the Port of London Authority to test the next generation of S-100 navigation solutions, including the UK's first S-102 sea trial with SEAiq Pilot to enhance marine navigation and safety. The trial focused on implementing high-resolution bathymetric data to improve situational awareness for pilots navigating the Thames. We look forward to continuing our collaboration in the next round of sea trials. Watch our S-102 sea trial: https://ow.ly/F2cx50SJZ98. #MarineData #DataStandards #SeaTrial #RiverThames
